Looking at and through blog

First of all, I noticed in the reading something that had been mentioned in my reading for fine arts this week, that digital art doesn't have an original copy like other art forms such as sculpture and painting because while it has an original, the original can be perfectly copied which is pretty unique to digital art. I thought this was really interesting and was an aspect of digital art that I hadn't considered before these readings.

I'm not sure I really understand the concept of "at" and "through" that well, but I'll give it a try. For my phone, looking at it I have a touch screen and a full keyboard and windows mobile and all these things like a notes program where I can write words on it and then my phone will convert it to text for me through handwriting recognition software. However, this stuff is what it has, not really what it does or the experience I have when I use it. When I use my phone it can make me happy or sad or angry, especially if it breaks or if I don’t get service. My phone allows me to communicate with people through words, voice, picture and video. My phone may not be very big, but if you looked at a map at all it could do, it would be huge. My phone is also somewhat a reflection of me-I choose what displays on the front, the color scheme, the pictures in the background and so many other parts of it. A big part of my phone and most other electronic devices now is that they can be customized. If someone else picks up my phone, they will be able to tell a lot of things about me just by what’s displayed and saved in my phone.
